Dear Sir: Will you please per
mit the following from one of your
old advertising patrons? There
has recently heeri opened a depart
ment store in this city that has at
tracted a great deal of attention by
the system on which it does busi
ness, mere are a great many
things the people should consider
in patronizing an establishment of
that kind. First5 the old established
houses, here have been here for
years and grown up with the town,
and have extended credit to a great
majority of their customers, and
still do so. A great many of our
customers say that the Department
store sells goods cheaper, which
may be true, but we credit them
and.of course have to havesome in

At the school meeting: in this dis
trict a vote" was taken to hire the
same ieacher for the coming year
that ta'Ugh't it the past year, which
resulted in a vote of three to one
for so doing. Whether the board
will ignore the same remains yet to
be seen. The newly elected director
said previous to election that he
was in favor of her, but since we
have been informed by good author
ity that he has said that he would
not hire her at all. The ireasurer
is in favor ot her, and the moderator
has talked the same way; but we
have been informed lately that he
has "flew the track," but he re
quested the treasurer to write her
in regard to the vote as taken at
the school meeting, which was done
forthwith. What the result will be
is hard to determine at this writ
